It's nice to see how people have comeback from their holidays and started talking on Go forums. Here you have a list of the last topics which I thought could be interesting for the whole community:
1. Meijin title: 1-0 for the title holder Takao Shinji - at 361points.com
You can track the meijin title there, so bookmark the meijin page to get the games and some commentaries. You can also find information about how to watch it on life.
2. Replay a random professional Go game - at 361points.com
Just in case you have a few minutes to check the internet but lack of tools to play go, you can visit this site an replay a random professional Go game from the last years.
3. Go teachers - at A River of Stones
Check the actual prices of lectures with pro or high-dan amateur players.
4. The Magic of Go - at Godiscussions.com
Rob Van Zeijst has been writing "The Magic of Go" column for a long time and we've all enjoyed his lectures. His contract with the "Daily Yomiuri" has finished and he has started his own site.
5. MoGo Bot released - at Godiscussions.com
The MoGo Bot, currently rated as one of the top go bots, has been released publicly so that we can all play against him. I've already talked about this bot on the post talking about the last computer olympiads. You can also see that MoGoBot2 has reached solid 1dan on KGS, so that you get an approximate idea of his level of play. You can agree with his 1d rating or not, but the truth is that this bot has already beaten Guo Juan (5p) several times on a 9x9 board.

Well, I think this is all for this week. Remember that you can send me any interesting article at the appropiate section on the forum.
